Exclusive private CU screening of Born to Lead: The Sal Aunese Story An Inspirational Documentary Film
The Denver Forever Buffs Alumni Chapter and the CU Advocates proudly invite you to an exclusive screening of "Born To Lead: The Sal Aunese Story" produced by CU Boulder alumnus George Antonopoulos (Econ'91,MBA'94) and directed by Lara Slife.
Special guests will include CU football greats Dave Logan, J.J. Flannigan, Jeff Campbell, Charles Johnson, Darian Hagan and more!
Reminiscent of poignant sports films of the past such as "Brian's Song" and "Rudy," "Born to Lead" is a rousing story of courage, friendship, and living life against the most brutal of obstacles. Sal Aunese was the University of Colorado's star quarterback who died of stomach cancer in 1989, and his teammates promptly dedicated their season to him. Through reflections from his friends, family, and fellow Buffs, as well as rare archival footage, "Born to Lead" chronicles Sal's rise to the top as one of his team's most valuable players and his valiant battle with the disease that took his life. The screening will be in the CU South Denver theater on its 60-foot screen. Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with filmmakers and friends of Sal. REGISTER HERE.
